"I was drawn to MSFS for the tenacious and talented cohort of students, the world-renowned faculty and practitioners on staff, the remarkable opportunities provided for students to develop into holistically sound practitioners as a part of a broader university, and the gift of being in a city that allows its students the opportunity to create synergies between theory and practice in professional and academic arenas alike."
